THE ROTTLUND COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1.  General

    The consolifated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's annual report for the year ended March 31, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.

    The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience significant variability in quarterly net sales and net income. Operating results for the three month period ending June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2001.

Note 2.  Revolving Credit Facility to Bank

    As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a line-of-credit arrangement with a bank totaling $55,000,000, with interest at the bank's prime rate plus .25% (as of June 30, 2000 that rate was 9.75%). Borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2000 were $47,460,000 under this arrangement. In addition, there were $1,967,000 letters of credit outstanding under this arrangement at June 30, 2000.

    As a cautionary note to investors, certain matters discussed in this management discussion and analysis are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such matters involve risks and uncertainties, including changes in economic conditions and interest rates, increases in raw material and labor costs, weather conditions, and general competitive factors that may cause actual results to differ materially.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

    Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000, were nearly the same at $49.6 million for the comparable period of 1999. The number of homes closed by the Company decreased by 1.7% to 297 units for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from 302 units during the same period in 1999. The average selling price of a home increased 1.7% to $167,000, during the three months ended June 30,

7


2000 from $164,200 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was due to an overall increase in prices for homes sold by the Company.

    Gross profit increased by 5.6%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $7.1 million for the comparable period of 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 15.1% from 14.4% primarily due to higher margin homes closing during the current quarter compared to those closing in the comparable period of 1999.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 8.1% to $5.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $6.2 million for the comparable period of 1999. This decrease is due to substantially exiting from the Ft Myers and Orlando markets. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 11.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 2000, from 12.6% for the same period in 1999.

    Interest expense increased to $506,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $488,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the Company's higher borrowing needs for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. The Company capitalizes certain interest costs for land development and includes such capitalized interest in cost of home sales when the related homes are delivered to purchasers.

    The Company's effective tax rate for the period ending June 30, 2000 was approximately 40%, compared to 41% for the same period ending June 30, 1999 which reflects the federal statutory rate plus state taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    At June 30, 2000, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,308,000.

    The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset turnover, land acquisition and inventory balances. In December 1994, the Company issued $25 million of 12.11% Senior Notes payable and in February 1996, the Company issued an additional $10 million of 9.42% Senior Notes payable (collectively referred to as the "Senior Notes"). Proceeds were used to retire certain mortgage notes payable and for working capital purposes. The Senior Notes were paid, in full, on April 21, 2000, including $900,000 in early extinguishment payments.

    The Company has an unsecured revolving credit agreement that provides borrowings of up to $55 million, of which $5 million may be used for letters of credit. Borrowings under this agreement are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on a defined percentage of land, development costs, finished lots and the working capital of the Company. As of June 30, 2000, borrowings under this facility's line of credit totaled $47.5 million, and $5.5 million was available for borrowing under the calculation described above. The Company believes that amounts available under its existing borrowing arrangements (assuming extensions and renewals of debt in the ordinary course of business) and amounts generated from operations will provide funds adequate for its home building activities and debt service.

    As of June 30, 2000 the Company is in compliance with covenants under its revolving credit facility.

    The Company has generally been able to secure financing for its acquisition, development and construction activities, and management believes such arrangements will continue to be available on terms satisfactory to the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that continued financing for land acquisitions will be available or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to the Company.

8


Inflation

    The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, material and labor costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates may significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective purchasers. The Company attempts to pass through to its customers any increase in its costs through increased selling prices, and to date, inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. However, there is no assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations.
